SAN FRANCISCO, USA: Search giant Google opened on Thursday its Google Dashboard for users to see what records the Internet giant keeps regarding their activities at YouTube, Gmail, Reader and other accounts.

"The Google Dashboard offers a simple view into the data associated with your account - easily and concisely in one location," said a blog post by Google engineer Alma Whitten, product manager Yariv Adan, and vice president Marissa Mayer.

"Over the past 11 years, Google has focused on building innovative products for our users. Today, with hundreds of millions of people using those products around the world, we are very aware of the trust that you have placed in us, and our responsibility to protect your privacy and data," it added.

The Dashboard covers more than 20 products and services, including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Web History, Orkut, YouTube, Picasa, Talk, Reader, Alerts, Latitude and many more, according to Google.

Whitten and Adan said "the scale and level of detail of the Dashboard is unprecedented, and we're delighted to be the first Internet company to offer this and we hope it will become the standard."

Only information shared with Google while logged into accounts at its Web properties is included in Dashboard summaries, according to an AFP report. People can change settings or delete data, which is viewable by account owners online at google.com/dashboard/.
